Dharapani
You drive along the Kathmandu-Pokhara Highway to Dumre and then follow the narrow, paved road by the Marshyangdi River to Besi Sahar. We begin our journey at early dawn, with a long drive ahead of us. Now, we head-start right after breakfast and leave Kathmandu around 7 in the morning. After 9-10 hours of movement, we reach Dharapani via Besishahar. Drive up to Besishahar will most likely be smooth owing to black-topped roads, whereas after Besishahar, the streets get dusty and coarse, but the scenic view from our windowpane is more than compensating for the bumpy ride.
We begin our trek in the morning towards Bagarchhap, which takes about one hour, passing through pine and fir forests. We can visit the whitewashed monastery in this village. The trail continues through pine forests until Latamarang, which takes about one and a half hours. We will trek through pine and fir forests, monasteries, and villages to Bargarchhap., You can enjoy the spectacular mountain views of Annapurna II, Manaslu, and other peaks. Koto is a small village mainly inhabited by Gurungs who follow Tibetan Buddhism.
Meta
We register our restricted area permit in the morning at the Police Check Post. Then we trek through the River bank of Soti Khola again through wonderful pine forests, streams, and suspension and reach Dharmasala. Today’s trekking route passes through beautiful woods, small cave shelters, and pilgrims’ resting places. Emerging from a narrow canyon, the trail passes under a wide waterfall, from where the woods become thinner and the vistas wider.
Phu Gaon
Trekking out of Meta, some of the unique, colorful Tibetan Buddhist chortens that Nar and Phu are famous for begin to appear in sight. From here, you can get your first view of the three villages in the area as well as the old “dzong” (Tibetan-style fortress) and the remains of two ruined forts, impressively situated atop the flatlands before the village.
Today is the scheduled acclimatization day, whereby we are suggested to rest and adapt to the altitude. It is also the day to explore the Tashi Lakhang Monastery – the old Buddhist Monastery listed out of the 108 world’s great Buddhist Monasteries; it is supposed to be the last monastery constructed by Karmapa Rinpoche.
Phu is an attractive village, and a day is well spent sitting with the villagers as they spin their yak and sheep wool, pound mustard seeds into a paste for oil, or go about their other daily chores.
The hike up to Himlung Himal base camp for an extra challenge takes you through a glacial valley. On the trail up, you will see herds of blue sheep skillfully clambering up the cliffs. The return trip takes about four to five hours.
Nar Phedi
Retrace the route back down towards Meta, but turn off at the Nar Phedi monastery, which will be your accommodation for the night. The sanctuary is all that Nar Phedi consists of! At 5 pm, they usually do a puja (blessing), which you are welcome to witness. On the way, the peaks of Kang Garu and Pisang Peak will pass by two chortens.
Nar
Today is a very gentle day. Climb out of Nar Phedi and follow a winding path up a hill towards Nar. Pass a line of wonderfully painted, bamboo-topped chortens on the way into the ancient village. We walk along the windy path to Nar village. Cross a string of wonderfully painted, bamboo-topped chortens on the way into the old town.
Kang La Pass 5320M
We start our Kang La pass day hikes early morning to avoid the wind. The Kang La is not a difficult pass, but it could be a long day if there is snow on the pass or the altitude is taking its toll. The Kang La, at 5240m, is a spectacular pass looking over Annapurna II, Gangapurna, Tilicho peak, the peaks surrounding Tilicho, and the airport at Hongde. The trail down is steep and gradual as you reach the end.
Beshisahar
The weather and the greener landscape get warmer as you go down more than 3000m from the pass. Set off early for the last few hours of trekking to reach Pisang. The trail is wide and pleasing and passes a beautiful lake outside Pisang. Take lunch at Pisang, then Drive to Besisahar by Jeep. Overnight at Besisahar.
Kathmandu
The drive back to Kathmandu takes around five hours. Enjoy a hot shower and the luxuries of the city once again! Spend the afternoon shopping for souvenirs in Thamel, or just relaxing.
